According to a Bloomberg New Energy Finance estimate, based on preliminary energy demand data from China’s National Bureau of Statistics, China's total carbon emissions dropped 2 percent in 2014 compared with the previous year. This is the first drop since 2001. Sophie Lu, a Beijing-based analyst at the Bloomberg New Energy Finance claimed that “coal demand is slowing” while consumption of all other fuels, including oil, gas and renewables has increased.
